Today's outfit was kind of inspired by John Galliano aw09/I just really wanted to wear this skirt my friend Sheba gave me. Sunday we had a number of adventures and went to the fashion archives of the school at the Art Institute and they had every issue of Vogue and Mademoiselle and Bazaar since the 1910's and Comme des Garcons from the 80's and a dress from the first Prada RTW collection and videos of runway shows since the 80's and it was heaven and I felt reborn and like I had to rethink my life and as if everything I've ever seen except the video of the CdG show from the mid-90's was MEANINGLESS.

But that's all for another time. Clearly it has made me a very serious person though:vintage skirt, boots, necklace, bolero. hairbow from mexican market. headband by jennifer loiselle. olive tights, idk. yokoo belt thing. death stare, bob dylan in this scarring video.

More Baby Lynnie/Queen of Hearts lips! I heard "Lady Gaga" about 5 times today and wanted to throw overly sharp pencils at the comparers. But Elizabeth's Gaga Jackolantern is about the coolest thing I've ever seen (along with the CdG video of course.) I am so excited for Halloween! Whatchewbein? I am going to be a creepy doll with this lipstick and zombie eyes painted and false lashes on my eyelids so I can walk around with my eyes closed and scare moms that dress up as slutty nurses and share Tucker Max jokes with their other mom friends. Then Ella and I are going to watch Beetlejuice and Rosemary's Baby and accompany a really unhealthy amount of candy with more heart attacks and not being able to fall asleep. DON'T BE JEALOUS, IT'S HARD I KNOW.

It was supposed to look like my head sticking out of the leaves but I ended up just looking like a creep that likes to hang out in bushes. Which is fine, but as a proper creep I would like to make it clear that I prefer dungeons to bushes, where you're around, like, nature and stuff.

I just need a couple hours to watch Ghost World and then I'll have cleansed all my bitterness.

Oh, I also think the zombie doll thing is going to be soooo cute!!! I was a "Dead gothic lolita" doll for uh...my Freshmen year of HS. XD It was fun!! I had to walk in these really high doll shoes though...but it was worth it.

Look forward to pictures.. ^__^!!I'm going to be a vampire school girl for one party and something else for another. I have too many ideas to just be 1 thing and with more than 1 party to attend..I take full advantage O.O! Okay, sorry for spamming your comments twice!XD

Tavi, this last picture is great! Love your headwear. And your writing on The Pop's blog is really informative, yet fun. Good to see you doing show reports for them - shows a different side of you and we love it!

When I first saw your blog it was intriguing. Who is she? The feminine and real version of Benjamin Button. No way she can have that sense of style at only 13. I was wrong, you are not BB and you do have an amazing style. Now that you are getting more and more famous, i guess you will have to speak french, right? So why don't we do what I call a tandem? You correct my english while I teach you french? Oh, and to add a bit of craziness in your unique style, I could pretend to be your grandma?

Just beautiful! The headband is rather snazzy if i must say and John Galliano has done one of the best shows this season. I actually posted some John Galliano on my blog, check it out if you want. (PS, loving the lace, want!! Lust factor qualifies ;D)

Hey style rookie,I love this outfit, theres something so magical about it! I like the way it reflects Gallianos show.. mmm flashbak of that beauttiful collection :)By the way, I truly enjoyed that article and those wonderful photos of you in Pop.

This was a truly inspiring post! Thanks, Tavi, for bringing me out from a bad mood with great images and memories of Halloween when I was your age. Hell, I'm probably going to do something similar to your plans--watching movies and trying to scare myself, fueled wit lots of candy.

I absolutely adore your style!And LOVE the lips I think I might have my daughter copy that make up trick some time. I have a pair of Galliano shorts from the 80's still. I used to wear them with these big patrick cox shoes and little bra tops and actually my hair was cropped short like yours is now.You are such an inspiration and so intelligent. My daughter and I started a blog just this past August. We would be honored if you checked it out.

Tavi-I've been reading your blog for a while now but I don't think I've commented before... just wanted to say I adore your style, your writing and I'm loving your outfit posts. I know you've been getting a lot of press recently, but do you know you've appeared in a Hong Kong newspaper (and its magazine), one that is the most 'intellectual' in HK! I saw the articles recently at my parents place. I might be able find the magazine article and scan it. Let me know if you want to see it. A link to the newspaper - I know you can't read it but you get the idea- how amazing is it to make it to a Chinese economic journal?!http://www.hkej.com/template/landing/jsp/main.jspYou're very special!xx J

wow, i found you on the blogspot homepage and you sound pretty much like me. your so lucky to be able to go to all these shows because its my lifelong dream! itd be amazing if you could comment on my blog one time..because your writing really inspired me. becca x

@ Ainura,I am a follower of Russia Fashion Week, specially for Natalia Kolykhalova, who is maybe the most international russian designer.

I think it's important to search for other "markets" than just the 4 main capitals of fashion. Actually, I find the most of the Portuguese designers (I am portuguese) WAY BETTER than 70% of the designers presenting at New York Fashion Week: more-of-the-same. Nowadays fashion has no barriers of nationality and there are very good designers around the world. For example, this week I have posted about some very good collections of japanese designers who i love, who presented their collections at Japan fashion Week, which ended last week, and my readers looooved it as well!

You are absolutely fabulous. I just came across your blog, and I'm floored by your maturity and your knowledge about fashion...and you have such an eye for creative and unique looks! Are you really only 13?! Keep up the good work...and stay passionate...it's contagious. xo
